    An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn't

    Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t Nasir Abubakar Daniya i Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t. Nasir Abubakar Daniya Student Number: 13052246 A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of Requirements for award of: Professional Doctorate Degree in Policing Security and Community Safety London Metropolitan University Faculty of Social Science and Humanities March 2021 Thesis word count: 104, 482 ii Abstract Since Nigeria’s independence from Britain in 1960, the country has made some progress while also facing some significant socio-economic challenges. Despite being one of the largest producers of oil in the world, in 2018 and 2019, the Brooking Institution and World Poverty Clock respectively ranked Nigeria amongst top three countries with extreme poverty in the World. Muslims from the north and Christians from the south dominate the country; each part has its peculiar problem. There have been series of agitations by the militants from the south to break the country due to unfair treatments by the Nigerian government. They produced multiple violent groups that killed people and destroyed properties and oil facilities. In the North, an insurgent group called Boko Haram emerges in 2009; they advocated for the establishment of an Islamic state that started with warning that, western education is prohibited. Reports say the group caused death of around 100,000 and displaced over 2 million people. As such, Niger Delta Militancy and Boko Haram Insurgency have been major challenges being faced by Nigeria for about a decade. To address such challenges, the Nigerian government introduced separate counterinsurgency interventions called Presidential Amnesty Program (PAP) and Operation Safe Corridor (OSC) in 2009 and 2016 respectively, which are both aimed at curtailing Militancy and Insurgency respectively.

    Key Note Address by Dr Dalhatu Sarki Tafida, Ofr

    KEY NOTE ADDRESS BY DR DALHATU SARKI TAFIDA, OFR, NIGERIA HIGH COMMISSIONER TO THE UNITED KINGDOM AT THE CONFERENCE ON PREVENTING ABUSE OF THE NIGERIAN CHILD TODAY BRUNEI GALLERY, SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL AND AFRICAN STUDIES, RUSSELL SQUARE, LONDON, 30 MAY 2009 Your Excellency, Obong Barrister Godswill Akpabio Governor of Akwa Ibo State Baroness Morgan, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Children, Young People and Families Engineer Enenwan Ebong President of Mboho Akwa Ibom Association in the UK and Ireland and Executive Council Members of the Association Gary Foxcroft, Programme Director, Stepping Stones Nigeria Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to be at this platform as a great opportunity to exchange views on children rights and protection in Nigeria, showcase Nigeria’s record in this regard and deliberate on additional measures that need to be taken to advance the rights and welfare of the Nigerian Child. Like everyone who watched the BBC Channel 4 documentary on Saving Africa’s Witch Children when it was first broadcast on 12 November 2008, I was horrified at the sight of children being tortured, dehumanised and traumatised by their captors under the guise of exorcising witchcraft from their innocent souls. Some of them have already been killed. The gory scenes shown in the documentary were rightly met with universal condemnation; having pitched the conscience of the world. In reacting to this documentary, my Mission proceeded to send a quick rejoinder, stating, unequivocally, its abhorrence of what was depicted in the programme. Rather than denying that such cultural practices and human rights violations of children exist in one form or the other various parts of Nigeria, the Mission sought to put the documentary in the proper 2 context of ignorance, mass illiteracy, cultural practices, belief systems, poverty and lack of enforcement of existing laws.
  • First Election Security Threat Assessment

    First Election Security Threat Assessment

    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

  • The Jonathan Presidency, by Abati, the Guardian, Dec. 17

    The Jonathan Presidency, by Abati, the Guardian, Dec. 17

    The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati Published by The Jonathan Presidency The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati A review of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency in Nigeria should provide significant insight into both his story and the larger Nigerian narrative. We consider this to be a necessary exercise as the country prepares for the next general elections and the Jonathan Presidency faces the certain fate of becoming lame-duck earlier than anticipated. The general impression about President Jonathan among Nigerians is that he is as his name suggests, a product of sheer luck. They say this because here is a President whose story as a politician began in 1998, and who within the space of ten years appears to have made the fastest stride from zero to “stardom” in Nigerian political history. Jonathan himself has had cause to declare that he is from a relatively unknown village called Otuoke in Bayelsa state; he claims he did not have shoes to wear to school, one of those children who ate rice only at Xmas. When his father died in February 2008, it was probably the first time that Otuoke would play host to the kind of quality crowd that showed up in the community. The beauty of the Jonathan story is to be found in its inspirational value, namely that the Nigerian dream could still take on the shape of phenomenal and transformational social mobility in spite of all the inequities in the land. With Jonathan’s emergence as the occupier of the highest office in the land, many Nigerians who had ordinarily given up on the country and the future felt imbued with renewed energy and hope.

Akpabio 2011 declaration speech, the AKIDUSA has the honor to reproduced this most informative, and straight talk from the heart to the people of Akwa Ibom State and the Diaspora . Please share these with all Akwa Ibomites In Diaspora. LET GOD’S WILL BE DONE AGAIN . A Declaration for Re-election by the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency Chief Godswill Obot Akpabio, on September 20, 2010 On November 26, 2006 we gathered here on this hallowed grounds and knocked on the door of destiny and it opened and since then our state has not been the same again. We have come here once again to make a demand on destiny. We did it before; it’s time to do it again. For some time now, the call for us to renew the covenant we entered into with Akwa Ibom people in 2007 has blown across our land like a refreshing ocean breeze. From the undulating hills of Itu to the rice fields of Ikono and from the sandy beaches of Ibeno to the palm plantations of Ikot Ekpene, the call has been the same, that we should enter into another covenant come 2011. This call was taken up by the Ibibios in a most touching and unforgettable reception at the hallowed grounds of Asan Ibibio, the Annangs did the same at Aquo Aran Afaha Obong, the Oros also made their call clear, the Eket people were not left out and one by one Akwa Ibom people spoke with one voice and one faith that this ship should continue to sail and berth at shore in 2015.

    SERAP Petition to AG Over Double Emoluments for Ex-Govs Now

    14 July 2017 Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN) Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Federal Ministry of Justice, Shehu Shagari Way, Abuja Dear Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), Re: Request to challenge the legality of states’ laws granting former governors and now serving senators and ministers double pay, life pensions and seek recovery of over N40bn of public funds Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) is writing to request you to use your good offices as a defender of public interest, and exercise your powers under Section 174(1) of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), to urgently institute appropriate legal actions to challenge the legality of states’ laws permitting former governors, who are now senators and ministers to enjoy governors’ emoluments while drawing normal salaries and allowances in their new political offices; and to seek full recovery of public funds from those involved. This request is entirely consistent with Nigeria’s international anticorruption obligations under the UN Convention against Corruption, to which the country is a state party. We request that you take this step within 7 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter, failing which SERAP will institute legal proceedings to compel the discharge of constitutional duty and full compliance with Nigeria’s international obligations and commitments. SERAP is a non-governmental organization dedicated to strengthening the socio-economic welfare of Nigerians by combatting corruption and promoting transparency and accountability. SERAP received the Wole Soyinka Anti-Corruption Defender Award in 2014. It has also been nominated for the UN Civil Society Award and Ford Foundation’s Jubilee Transparency Award.
